The Denver Post published the names, locations, and employers of three private citizens for sharing public records on social media.
On Aug. 1, The Denver Post exposed the names, locations, voter registrations, and employment of three private citizens who legally obtained public information and sent some to the popular social media account Do Better Denver. On Aug. 7, a Denver Post columnist defended the paper’s decision to dox the three women for sharing public information.
“People who claim to be citizen journalists must stand by their work with a byline and endure the negative comments and threats that come with the job,” wrote Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer.
The Post identified the three people it doxxed by doing a public records request for those women’s public records requests: “The Post filed open records requests to obtain copies of requests tied to DoBetterDNVR,” wrote The Post’s crime reporter Shelly Bradbury in her Aug. 1 article. On Aug. 5, the Denver Gazette confirmed the three doxxed women are not the account administrator. The public records they shared with the accountholder comprise less than 1 percent of Do Better Denver posts.
Bradbury also wrote that the Post targeted the women specifically for exercising their legal rights to view public information. The three, Bradbury wrote, “stand out because of their involvement in the account since its early days in 2023, their connections to each other, and because they did not just send a single video or photo to the account but pursued information through open records requests.”
Do Better Denver alleged the Post did this at the behest of local government officials angry about public disclosures of their activities. One public record one...

can not the favor be returned?
Yes, and since they arr corporations, they would be liable for any damages or harm that happened to them. Any lawyer would love to take their case on a contingency basis.

Tar and feather?
Who puts up with this crap?
yes it can....about 12 years ago you may remember Gannett papers published the names and addresses of every legal gun owner in America to shame them...and conservative sleuth then responded and published the names and addresses of all the Gannett editors....one happened to live on a road that was near my office...of course i just so happened to stop by one day, take pictures of the home then get into it with a guy in the driveway- it was great!!!!
Future headline:
“Denver Mayor’s Office and Denver Post headquarters razed by ‘Killdozer’ machine. Resulting outcry remarkably subdued.”
“...can not the favor be returned?”
With interest, I hope. And video the results. The media is one step ahead of slime molds on the evolutionary scale. The Denver Post soooo fits modern FatGov Polis’s Denver.
So since when are leftist intimidation tactics newsworthy?
I want every single employee of the Denver post identified and their voting status,their home addresses,their phone numbers and their incomes,plus their children’s names posted on the front page.
I think bankruptcy is much appropriate today
Don’t forget their entire legal history. Parking tickets, pot arrests, DUI’s. Speeding tickets, Domestic violence, Ugly Divorces, racist jokes, abortions, school cheating, etc.
There should be plenty of mud to fling back.
A mere coincidence perhaps but Colorado took a big lurch leftwards when the Rocky Mountain News, their only real competitor in the print news business shut their doors in the mid 90’s. Since then the Denver Post has been the largely unchallenged source of editorial opinion in the State, and it’s been downhill ever since.

Is her middle initial a K by any chance?
Don’t you have to agree not to use information from public record requests for certain purposes.
Years ago I was the victim of a union employee who sabotaged a paint line I was working on (as I was non-union). I still have the scar from my wrist to my elbow to show for it. After I got back to work, I went straight to the Union Local President and told him my friends and I knew where he lived, where his kids went to school, what his wife’s daily routine was, and if anything happened to me, he and his family would pay for it. I also told him we were all skilled marksmen in the military. After that the union scum left me alone.
